CST – Separating Excellence

The Centre for Separation Technology is an organization coordinating the discovery of new opportunities, research and industrial co-operation in separation processes. Currently, CST has 30 members, ranging from big multinational companies to first-class universities.

In essence, CST is the bridge between industry and academia for global separation technologies – now and tomorrow. Our network provides real solutions that raise the ambition level of the industry, enabling players to have broader opportunities, better processes and greater impact.

From discovery to bottom line, we are committed to shaping the future of industry.

CST Resource Pool - Achieve more by sharing.

Resources are expensive to buy and maintain. Let’s lessen the load by working together – there’s so much more we can achieve by sharing.

A key part of the CST ideology is pooling resources in order to take it to the next level. If you need, for instance, access to equipment or laboratory services, then look no further. We will help you out.

We also provide business services ranging from start-up evaluation and business model training to technology scouting and construction of entire ecosystems.

Projects & Funding -CST leading the way.

The entire process of pushing ideas – even revolutionary ones – towards funding and eventual application can be extremely time-consuming and exhausting. In managing the project pipeline, it’s good to have somebody there who knows exactly what they’re doing. Here’s the good news: CST will make your project life a whole lot easier.

When it comes to projects and funding, CST plays a key role in initiating project proposals, coordinating the proposal process and building the case-appropriate consortium. We currently have almost 30 active projects (EU, national and industry funded) in our portfolio and apply for many more each year.
